Find an emergency babysitter in Mount Vernon, NY

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.

Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.

Hello. I am a home organizer and love creating systems that work for your life. I work in corporate, the majority of my friends are childless and I miss spending time with children after growing up surrounded by them. That's why I am on Urban Sitter. I also speak Spanish and can incorporate that into childcare. Regarding experience, most of it involves children aged 9 - 12, but in the past two years, I have looked after newborns to 2yrs old. I'm a dog lover and dog sitter. I used to volunteer at a no-kill shelter and have experience with dogs and some behavioral issues.

Hi parents! 😊 Do you need a part-time sitter? I’m available for weekday/daytime childcare. I’m Luci, a recent Middlebury College graduate with degrees in Psychology (with a concentration in Child Development) and Studio Art. I’m also certified as a restorative justice facilitator and in child mental health crisis intervention. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for children ages 12 months–10 years. I’ve also taught art to young children in nonprofit early education settings. My approach to childcare aligns closely with the Montessori philosophy. I engage directly with children through play, encourage imagination and creativity, and am happy to take them to enrichment activities. If you’re looking for childcare or would like to chat more about what your family needs, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect.

Hello! My name is Jasmine and I’m offering babysitting services for all ages. I provide the perfect balance of fun, care, and routine. I know how important it is to make sure your kids stick to their routine, and I’ll be able to do that! I’m pretty funny and great at entertaining kids. Kids usually gravitate towards me! My inner child is very much alive so whether they’re going to the park or staying home, I’ll make sure the kids are occupied with games, story time, or homework. I have no problem helping with homework! By the time you get home, the homework will be done and toys will be cleaned up…unless they’re still playing of course. I went to Barnard College where I majored in psychology. I graduated in 2015. During my undergrad I was part of the Barnard Babysitting Agency for at least 3 years (I can't remember if I joined my freshman year or sophomore year). During that time I had several consistent babysitting jobs. I mostly had toddlers, but on occasion I had young children around 8 years old. I also babysat twin teenagers for a short time. I have experience changing diapers, cooking food, heating up food in a household with no microwave, and some housekeeping (dishes, tidying up). I have experience taking kids to afterschool activities like karate, the park, and the children's museum. To show I go the extra mile, I don’t have piano training, but I once helped one of the children I was babysitting practice their piano lessons. On that day he improved and I learned how to play Ol McDonald Had a Farm. In my family, I have a baby cousin who I have babysat since she was just a few months old (she's 13 now!) I’m great with kids and also pets! If you have a cat, dog, snake, bird, hamster, I’m a lover of all animals and I’m not allergic to any!
